It hasn't changed much and it was a bit frightening to see Sir Cliff singing "The Young Ones" with a spookily unchanged and note-perfect Hank Marvin. Maybe there is something in this Jehova Witness stuff, as long as you don't need a transfusion. There was also the same old toe-curling obsequious forelock-touching to the Royal Box but nowadays you get a reaction-shot from camera two. HRH Bryan looked a bit embarrassed when a loud and unfunny Welshman asked if it was his lads who had vandalised the local bus shelter. So did everyone else.<BR/>Armstrong and Miller looked a bit embarrassed to be there, and the rest of the show was an advert for West End Musicals with Sir Toad of Toad Webber even appearing himself. <BR/>They all looked crap apart from Jersey Boys.<BR/><BR/>I'll get me coat...<BR/><BR/>(PS A very Merry Christmas to your good self and the Bettster.)Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430706557035189147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460150.post-50180656037980894952008-12-23T15:26:00.000+00:002008-12-23T15:26:00.000+00:00Margaret was one hot tramp of a lady, wasn't she?J...Margaret was one hot tramp of a lady, wasn't she?<BR/><BR/>Jesus, I'd have shagged that - crown or no crown.
